Abstract
The Reynolds equation for studying fluid squeeze of aerostatic journal bearing is solved numerically by considering the quasi-steady
behavior of the air film. The radial displacement can influence the air film thickness modifying the pressure distribution in the journalbearing
gap. Also, the variations in the seal characteristics with eccentricity, time, squeeze number, length-to-diameter and supply
pressure are presented. The numerical results for the squeeze load-carrying capacity are given in a non-dimensional form.
